What happens
Wild Bill Hickok and his sidekick Jingles investigate a series of attacks on freight wagons heading west. Uncle Bob Dooley, who runs a store, has gone without supplies for a month, and a newcomer named Dan Hunter promises to open a wholesale warehouse to serve the region. After a freighter arrives badly wounded, Bill and Jingles ride into the hill country to look into the ambushes. Their investigation leads them toward a hidden cache of stolen goods and a gang of hired gunmen. This Wild Bill Hickok episode, titled Six-gun Thunder, was broadcast on November 18, 1953, with Guy Madison as Wild Bill and Andy Devine as Jingles. The sponsor was Kellogg's Sugar Pops.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
